What is a domain name?


Domain name is the unique address that identifies the location of the website. For example, the website address or URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of WebsiteGear is http://www.websitegear.com. Here websitegear.com is the domain name. http:// is the protocol used to access this website, and www is a subdomain (not required). You can access this site by typing in http://websitegear.com without the www. Domain names are registered by the website owner with a domain registrar such as GoDaddy.com.
